Participants Voice

I am a pioneer participant in APCC having participated in the first APCC in 1989. As eleven-year-old and early adolescent children, we were just starting to grow and learn to think then. The impacts of APCC on my life is therefore huge, and I reflect many positive changes in life. I participated in the summer camp many times under different capacities. Each time I participate, I meet new friends and learn new things. APCC has given me so much in life, as it has changed the lives of thousands of young people across the Asia-Pacific. APCC has made the entire Asia-pacific a home --- wherever I travel, I have a family. APCC is like an entire University to me where we learn many things. I matured quickly and learned the value of volunteerism and hard work since childhood. This has helped me in pursuing my educational and career dreams.
APCC continues to push the upper limits of its causes towards ‘Peace and Co-existence’ and ‘Omoiyari’ spirit. APCC started as a small project, but where it stands today is a big achievement for all its members, family, and supporters. Today, we have a family of thousands starting from 11-year old children to 42-year old adults. The institution has matured and grown through internal networks such as BRIDGE CLUBs, BRIDGE CLUB International Organization, BRIDGE CLUB Professional Network, and more. I thank all supporters and request to invest more in this noble initiative that nurtures future leaders. APCC’s ecosystem of global thinkers will make the world a better place to live.
